Henry Kissinger, Craig Mundie, and Eric Schmidt's Genesis examines the transformative potential of artificial intelligence, exploring both its immense benefits and the significant risks it poses.

It emphasizes the need for global cooperation, responsible AI governance, and a humanistic approach to technological advancement to ensure AI enhances, rather than threatens, human flourishing. The authors advocate for a careful balance between innovation and caution in navigating this new technological era.
